  /** \brief  smart pointer class for opals objects
 
    Smart pointers uses a reference counting mechanism to control the life time of an object. When the last
    SharePtr instance goes out of scope, the controlled object is deleted. In case an object is shared across
    dll boundaries, it is essential create and delete objects within the same heap. To do so you can either
    provide a corresponding delete function (only non-member functions are supported) or an object is derived
    from ObjectBase and the (overloaded) Delete function is called to delete the object.
